River crossing problems - T off the carb breather pipes?
Hi all.
I have a problem with my ’05 TT600RE. When I cross a river that is maybe knee deep, the engine starts to miss and then shuts off. Sometimes it will fire up again and run for a few seconds, but sometimes I have to push the bike out of the river. After maybe one minute on dry land, the engine starts up and runs normally.
The engine runs flawlessly in heavy rain, so I don’t think it is electrical.
I suspect I need to do “T off” the carb breather pipes. So I need to know:
These are the two pipes I need to “T off”, right?
The big breather pipe ends in this black plastic thingy. Is this some kind of a filter? Should anything connect to it? Do I have to re-locate this black thingy after I “T off” the carb breather pipes?
